Garance Doré: Pardon My French



Final episode of Garance in Paris - sad for it to end. This time around she shows us a bit of the gorgeous Chanel show (..and steals a wee prop), has lunch with her uber chic friends and has a bit of a boogie at the Lanvin 10th birthday party. Til next time Garance....

Garance Doré - Pardon My French...



As you may have guessed by now, I have a serious girl crush on Miss Dore. Here she is with her penultimate 'Pardon my French' video in which she hangs out with Corinne Bailey Rae and shoe queen Charlotte Olympia.

Blog Crush....

Stumbled across an amazing blog through Twitter yesterday and just had to share. 'My Marrakesh' is written by Maryam who along with her husband, amongst many, many other projects, designed and built Peacock Pavilions - a boutique guesthouse outside of Marrakesh.
Below are some pictures of their gorgeous Moroccan home which was recently featured in 'Elle Decor'.

Garance Doré - Pardon My French...



So Garance is back again and this time with two more of my heroines of fashion. First up she's hanging with Emmanuelle Alt - my all-time queen of laid back chic and next with Isabel Marant.
Crikey I want her life....

Outfit Love...


Zadig & Voltaire T-shirt £80, Paul & Joe Sister jeans £130, Maison Martin Margiela bag £855 (ouch!), Acne sandals £240



I was casually browsing the new arrivals at Net-A-Porter and dreaming of a lottery win when I spotted this gorgeous outfit. As you may have gathered from my previous posts, I'm not really one for pastels but, as Miss Zoe would say, I saw this and went 'ba-na-nas'.
It's perfect for summer (if we have one) and with a few additions (below) could be warmed up for spring....



Ankle boot with zip Zara £49.99

Isabel Marant AW 2012


There's not a Fashion Week goes by, that I don't wait with baited breath for the Isabel Marant show. She may not be breaking new ground, but you can guarantee that every piece will be a best seller and seen regularly on the likes of Emmanuelle Alt et al. This season she sticks with the Americana theme with a nod to the sparkly Nudie suits that popular country stars started wearing way back in the 50s.

The Flying Burrito Bros and especially Gram Parsons were keen Nudie suit wearers.
